"What was the trouble|
"Well, | moved to Dallas last fall
and started my children to school with
the school books they nad been using,
and they came home that night with a
list of new books as long as my arm. |
bought just $lS worth of books and
sent the children Oh their way rejoic-
ing On Thursday of last week the
children informed me that they had
been set back from the eighth to the
seventh grade and others from seventh
to the sixth grade, and another long
list Of books was presented for pur-
chase. 1t made me mad, and | went
to sec the superintendent, and told him
he must reconsider his action, that |
thought the children should be retain
ed in the grade they had been placed
in at the beginning OF the term, that |
had no objection to buying books TO
advance my children, but that |
thought one set of books ought to last
at least one term, and if he could not
see it that way, would find a school
that would.

community would rejoice to know that

The Drummers' Tax.

A representative of the TIMES yester-
day spoke to a number of well-known
commercial travellers in reference to the
rec mt decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States They all said
that ii was no more than had
been expected, and that they had no
opinion to express on the subject 1t is
possible that some action will be taken

Several Richmond merchants said chat
while the decision would reduce taxes, it
was just and fair The country was too
large for trade to be trammelled by that
class of legislation. Richmond would

fields and enlarge their old ones, to make
up for what they will lose by northern
competition"

At the Second Baptist church last night
the young ladies of that church held a
Jahr-Market. Among the attractions
were the sweetest Of cream candies and
caramels, their own fair handiwork. The
Jahr- Market was a great success, and the
young ladies Melted handsome sum for
the benefit of their Sunday school library.
The lady walters were all attention, and
it was a matter of regret when the clerk
of the market announced the hour OF
closing.
Another happy event was the quilting
party of the young ladies Of the Fourth

freshment was the rule, and the best the
market afforded was vended at down
